What do you usually do when you surf internet? Do you open Facebook? How long do you use Facebook a day? Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg launched this social networking service in February 2004 and until now it has over one billion users. It means for every seven people, one person uses Facebook in the world. By so many users, Facebook has already affected us in many ways.

The first effect is on business. You can sell your products on Facebook instead of selling in a physical or online shop and no need to pay money. You can launch free advertisements on Facebook and attract customers easily. You can have business with all over the world.

The second effect is on personal relationships. Now many people can stay in touchwith their friends no matter where they are and do they have a cell phone. You just need a computer which can use internet that you can chat with your friends and share your life and thoughts on Facebook. But when you share your news on Facebook, you might become sad because if you post your news on Facebook that means you want to interact with your friends. But if your friends don' t reply you or click like to you, you may think you are not liked by your friends. Then you may become an introvert, you are afraid of seeing your friends and lost your confidence.

The third effect is on the time that we consume. When you open Facebook, you will lost in friends ' news and games easily. Then when you wake up, you just realize that time is late and you don ' t do anything. You may not finish your homework or not finish your work. You may forget you have an appointment with your friends or what your parents ask you to do. You will get angry because you find out you have a lot things need to do but you don ' t have enough time. You start to regret and follow this pattern day by day.

Facebook become one of influential things in our lives. It has changed our lives in many ways: on business, on relationship and on time. Although it is convenient and worldwide, we still need to control our time and not spend too much time on Facebook otherwise, you will mess up your schedule and your eye sight will become bad. Facebook has good and bad functions, we just use it in a right way, it can be a useful tool.
